Rocky Mountains offer so many exciting things to do and there is something for almost
every age.
Without a doubt, white water rafting is the favorite for families vacationing in Colorado. Rapids range from easy (class I-III) on the Colorado River to more challenging (class IV-V) on the Arkansas River. Many courses have age limits so be sure to give accurate ages when requesting this activity.
Another favorite in Colorado, is the Giant Alpine Slide. There are several of these great slides in Colorado, but the biggest is in Winter Park. Measuring over 3000 feet long with 26 turns, this slide is a real blast! Children of all ages may ride, but those under 42 inches tall may need to ride with an adult.
Other activities in Colorado include horseback riding, train rides, theme parks, caves, and mountain biking.
